Say Farewell To Aaron Kelly

Last Thursday for Asian people, we know who one person eliminated in top five. That person is Aaron Kelly. In personally, I’m so sad with this result, because like all my statement before in another post, Aaron just one and only my favorite contestant standing until top five. So after Mr. Kelly out, I don’t have another my favorite contestant who that contestant I support from the beginning of the show (since audition).

Aaron journey in American Idol season 9 is like a roller coaster because at sometime he in the peak but sometime he in the bottom. Go to the top 24, Aaron not the strong contestant, because in the last performance in Hollywood he forgot some lyric. That reason make him a little bit underestimate in this show and not just that Aaron almost voted by VoteForTheWorst because that performance.

I’m relief when Aaron did first live performance, he’s doing good. Aaron prove that he must consider in this competition as one of stronger contestant. I think in the top 24, Aaron become the best performance in male group. In top 20, Aaron performance for judges a little bit down but for me still alright. In top 20 Aaron sang “My Girl” and make me wanna hear that song again because of him.

In my analysis, Aaron performance from top 16 until top 10 liked by the judges and in the head of all judges Aaron always save for another week. But for me, Aaron didn’t gave a significant progression from top 16 until top 10. I think in the top 10 when he sang “Ain’t No Sunshine”, he performance not so good for me, yeah I must admitted it feels effortless, but not so good performance especially if I must compare to last season performance did by Kris Allen, Kris Allen performance more more great than Aaron.

Go to the top 9, Aaron performance more going backward. After that he struggle to give the best performance every week. In Elvis week, he sang the up-beat song and I liked it and also more improvement than last week. Top 7 sang “I Believe I Can Fly”, he sang it very effortless and more improvement from last couple week.
The best performance by Aaron I think in top 6. When American Idol go to the country and sing a song from Shania Twain songbooks. Aaron performance feel so great and prove that he deserve in the top five. In top five, that is the last performance by him, Aaron did a pretty good job for me and Aaron performance better than Casey James.

But what Kara said is right, Aaron is so lack with star presence and for me sometime Aaron performance to rigid/stiff, in the bad word like a robotic performance because his body language is so awful. He must work much in this part, because this part is also important for superstar.

I think Aaron must proud to himself because he started the show with lack of confidence and being a person underestimated in this show, but he can prove that he deserve in here competition and can compete with other contestant. Top five is a great achievement for him, I think he gave an inspiration for other young kid in American who have a problem in self-confidence. If you see the video from Aaron when he got eliminated, the word in that video give an inspiration.

So Aaron you still have a homework to do before you make an album, I think. Learn about stage presence, how can sing with a great act performance, and not to stiff. For the vocal, I think he good in this part and ready to make an album in this part.

Aaron, you still young, you still have a lot of time to improve. What you’ve been show in this competition is already great and you must proud with that. Never stop to learning, Aaron!!

So I hope you have a great career in the real world, maybe we can see you again once more time in the grand final, but my hope we can still see you in the real world.

Indonesian Idol 2010 Wildcard Round (Part 2)

That’s my review and who will I pick to the spectacular show??? OF COURSE CITRA!!!!! Hahahaha….. I’m so happy by what Citra doing tonight in the wildcard round. All of my hope and expectation answer by her performance. So fall in love with her performance, because she not just doing good but great wonderful fantastic spectacular performance. If with that performance she not made it in the spectacular show, I will be so shock. So my first pick absolutely Citra. Go Citra!!!!

My pick will be the last four performance from Andi till Rio. More clear are Andi, Citra, Zulfa and Rio. After that Tesa, Michael, Eza and Mela. So for more clearly look the rank bellow :
1. Citra
2. Andi
3. Rio
4. Zulfa
5. Tesa
6. Michael
7. Eza
8. Mela

So who will Indonesia pick??? Let see……

Before the result, Indonesian Idol bring the funny moment called “Coba Lagi Award”. This award is for people who have a freaky audition, so weird, unique but interesting. If I’m not wrong seven people choose by Indonesian Idol and from that seven people one of them will get the coba lagi award. The person get the award is the person who sang "Biarkanku sendiri tanpa kamu lagi..." and dance a freak style, honestly I'm forgot the name.

Before talking about the result. I just get the confuse with the rules of this season, the rules is so complicated and very not transparent. I think in the spectacular show only just twelve people, but not fourteen people for this season. I think four contestant in this wildcard round will be determine by Indonesian people vote, but I’m wrong again just two contestant determine by Indonesian people and the last two will be judges pick. Very confusing and not transparent, so if Indonesian Idol read my post, If you make a rule please announce to the audience by live before all contestant doing the performance to make the people who watching not confuse with the rules.

Back to the wildcard round, Daniel will announce the result. First Daniel announced the result from Indonesian people vote. Citra and Rio have the highest vote, so both of them will be compete in the spectacular show. So left 6 people in the bench waiting for their result. They result will decide by all judges. Eza told by all the judges that his performance is the baddest of the night from male group. Anang, Agnes and Erwin pick Zulfa for the baddest performance in the female side, but Melly choose Tesa for the baddest in female side.

So left Michael and Andi in the male group. In the female group left Mela and Tesa. Hufff I relief that judges pick Tesa to compete in the spectacular show and not Mela, if judges pick Mela I will be so shock!!!!

All judges get the hard time when deciding Michael or Andi deserve in spectacular show. Michael got two votes and Andi got two votes two. Michael got votes from Anang Hermansyah and Agnes Monica, Andi got votes from Melly Goeslaw and Erwin Gutawa. Daniel said we can’t and very impossible make to be top fifteen, so all judges must decide just one of them through in spectacular show. Daniel ask the head of judges that Erwin Gutawa to decide and Erwin Gutawa choose Andi. So here it is your top fourteen already built.

So…. This is all your top fourteen Indonesia :
The girls
Citra – Dea – Diana – Ica - Keyko – Mona & Tesa
For the guys
Andi – Fendi – Gilang – Igo - Ray – Rio & Windra
